. on wednesday, the us nuclear watchdog said iran is expanding its uranium enrichment capabilities . despite the negotiations live to algiers. ali hashem was in vienna for is the lifting of sanctions. are katie the top priority and the top of the agenda for the radians? tell us about what's been happening. that's fully the iranian delegation announced that they submitted to a draft proposal to the wall public negotiating to divide the 2015 nuclear deal. there are $11.00, a draft is, is going to be about the lifting of the sections. the other is going to be on iran, rolling back the nuclear measure. it took after the american withdrawal, all the us withdrawal from the 2015 the. now what we know from our sources is that these proposals contain what was adamant. that's what i agreed on.

in the past 6 round of talks between the hours and the wrong there are other elements that's what added to these proposals dot comply with the g, c, p a or the nuclear a deal. now there are waiting to see how the work problems are going to react to these proposals. however, what we know is that the main issue, both sides are really talking about differences about the verification process. how the lifting of sanctions are going to be verified by the iranians and how are they going to be guaranteed syrians want guarantees that there are no new sanctions would be imposed. however, the other side side, once guarantees that the iranians will roll back all the measures they took since

2019, until the moment. now, if this is going to be similar thing, yes, is that if this is going to be parallel, this is also what's being discussed right here in the cold war, fall us in, in vienna. and now there are, you know, speculations of defining is this going to and now this start, the thoughts is going to run and know or not. well, what about the other signatories? what are they saying about yvonne's demands? well for the moment there are no stances, and in this regard, we just knew, pugh, i was a go about these proposal is however, what we had from the europeans, at least from the european delegations that, that, that it's positivity surrounding this round of talks. and some, some of even are saying that they, i've. busy done more than 70 percent of issues agreements on on 70 percent of the

issues. now is this going to be to continue because we know that the details, the 30 percent is whatever to think is if they agree on 70 percent and that the court which is the 30 percent, was they failed to agree on then that there is no there is no real progress if they were able to get into these fonts, the verification, the guarantees, then everything would be on the under ice trucks. however, now what we know is the, the, the talks on resuming for the moment. we don't know if it's going to end by by tomorrow, and all the delegations go back to that capitalized. i just had one and the iranian oil ministry delegation had it through the airport. i don't know if this is going to be an indication that this round of talks is going to come to an end that he says, thank you for that. and he hash him live for i seen vienna now the united nation says it needs a record 41000000000 dollars next year to meet humanitarian needs. in an interview

with the f, the news agency, the head of humanitarian affairs, said he feared going. instability in ethiopia could lead to a repeat of the arctic extras that took place. and i've got a son in august diplomatic, as a james space has more on why the un needs a record amount of money. the humanitarian situation around the world was already the worst. it's been at any time in recent years. but now the un says it's deteriorating even more. in 2022, it's estimated that 274000000 people be in need of humanitarian assistance. a 17 percent rise in the u. n. is appealing for a record amount for its annual appeal. $41000000000.00 us dollars. do you ends on the secretary general for humanitarian affairs? martin griffith struggled when asked to name the worst crisis. i think it is the most concerning. i mean it's a terrible thing to have to choose between. you know,

places of such great need you know, subsidized is at his worst. and italy get to mention, you will remember when haiti had that extraordinary earthquake. back in, in the middle of august, it didn't make the news for that week because of course taliban were walking into couple of that time. so it feels somewhat improper somehow to choose among these places in some of the humanitarian emergencies. for example, somalia, or the democratic republic of congo, the situation has been bad for decades and it's not getting any better in some places though. in 2021. notably ethiopia, mamma, and i've got some things got much worse. a flash appeal for afghanistan in september was a success. it's now over 100 percent funded. but the collapse of the economy, coupled with the worst drought for the 30 years, means much more funding is now needed. more and more afghans is struggling to

survive here, selling their clothes on the street in the country where it's estimated. the price of bread has gone up 80 percent in just a few months. james bay's al jazeera at the united nations. hey, i spoke to william davidson about the situation in ethiopia. he's a senior. if you're earliest at the international crisis group, he says they may be no near and inside to the conflict in ethiopia, there is an risk of breaking up. but of course, to what extent that the social fabric is, is damaged already is a question of debate. of course, at the conflict continues that will your praise play further pressure on the government, worse and existing divisions within society? and i think the big concern for margin, griffith, for many, many europeans and, and all of us paying attention is that at the moment, there is no real end in sight. it's conflict. what one thing we should note is that

it was a very serious insurgency, counter insurgency. situation that has been growing and are mere region and the country's largest. but indeed, and that has been a civil war ongoing between the federal government and to great government for over a year. now, just in the last few days you've seen and the significant what looks like a potentially significant shift in the conflict dynamics and possible. it's a great forces advance and partnership with those, or i'm a rebel with on the capital out of not does not look likely to be happening imminently, as the federal forces have made some gains, but in terms of communal violence, yes, there is a strong inter, communal element, so this is a very significant political problem between the horror and the great leadership and the people at large and as part of its complet because they are respected supporters in collaborators. we have the most violent and state repression during

a state of emergency with the mass for round up of 2 great and civilians over the last month and also plenty of our most civilians, us secretary of state. and to me blinking says he is deeply concerned about what he called russia's aggressive policy towards ukraine has been meeting his russian counterpart said he left off to discuss moscow's to build up along the ukraine. russia border. moscow rejected claims that is planning an attack on ukraine early in the day blink, and also spoke with ukraine for mr. we have a strong iron clad commitment to the sovereignty in charge will integrity of ukraine. the best way to avert the crisis is through diplomacy. and that's what i look forward to discussing with, with sergei, including by both parties, full implementation of the minsk agreements with russia, pulling back its forces, the united states is willing to facilitate that. but and again,

in the spirit of being clear and candid, which is the best thing to do. if russia decides to pursue confrontation, there will be serious consequences. i have no doubt that the only way out of today's crisis is actually to seek the balance of interests. and i would like to highlight that we are interested in taking steps to settle the green crisis. in american colleagues has said in numerous occasions that they are ready to help by the time she had dialog channel. i would also be interested in antony's explanation about the remarks he has delivered by stating of the provision of the minster grid meant the rush as to fulfill or both russia and ukraine have accused each other are ramping up tensions. in recent weeks. ukraine says more than 90000 russian soldiers and near its border. moscow has dismiss claims in preparing an attack. russia accuses ukraine of protein to recapture areas in east. hello, my poor russia rebels. it says ukraine has gathered about 125000 soldiers near the

conflict zone. something kid has denied ukraine is not part of nato, but russian president vladimir putin has warned that any expansion of the alliances military infrastructure into ukraine would be a red line. that speaks to bernard smith, who joins us live from moscow. the russian foreign mr. bernard rates rating j that moscow does not want a new conflict with the ukraine. but will that reassure the americans bully over the last 48 hours, both sides, the russia on the u. s. have made the positions clear. miss today is an opportunity installed co bronson, the blinking and saga lab rob to reiterate that positions, but for the 1st time face to face for russia. it's unacceptable. they say that you need, the nato could spread eastwards, accepting not just ukraine, but also georgia, as potential new members. russia says it sees that as

a fundamental threat to its security. the u. s. has said it's not really up to russia. what sovereign nations like ukraine and ga, decide to do. and while those discussions go on the troop, build up the confrontation on the border with ukraine and russia continues. and the risk of somebody accidentally slipping a hand on a trigger, the risk of something going wrong. mountains, day by day, as these 2 sides of face, all russia says ukraine has moved as many as a $125000.00 purse now half its army towards the east of the country, where those russian separatists, a fighting in the dumbass area. russia has lined up troops along its easton and southern borders, the bella rous border with with that ukraine as well and says, 10000 troops are going to be involved in maneuvers soon. so all lot tension building the hope is that the meeting between la rove unblinking today will help

calm that tension. we know that when this similar build up happened in the summer, a couple of months later, joe biden proposed a summit meeting with him in foods. and we know that the last couple of weeks the russians have been suggesting that that could be another summit in the offing, although the americans have not yet said if it's going to happen or not. then it's thank you for that. bernard smith live 1st in moscow and still ahead on al jazeera, protecting the past campaigners side to save and historic palestinian village from development. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored play cut on airways. hey there, thanks for joining in. here's your weather story. for age, i want to get your rate to japan because we have sent some records for both rain

the me. you're watching al jazeera live from. don't reminder of our top stories. iran has submitted to drafts proposals to european powers, negotiating the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal. this is the 7th round of talks in vienna aimed at returning iran and the us to the agreement the secretary of state onto the lincoln. his meeting is russian counterpart. take a law for us to discuss moscow to build up along the border with ukraine. lincoln. he is deeply concerned about what he called russia's aggressive policy. moscow rejected claim that it's planning an attack on ukraine. and uganda is deploying more troops to democratic republic of congo to fight the will be allied democratic forces. the government spokesman has told last year the special forces from both countries are conducting. the operation was more misled. speak to algiers. malcolm

malcolm's web was monitoring the situation from night will be kenya, malcolm. so the government spokesperson in the democratic republic of some good contracts, essays, both countries are conducting this operation together. tell us about the latest you're hearing about this offensive. we don't get a whole new information out there because of course, this is an operation that's going on in an area of thick forest, in which the adf has been hiding for decades. and also the adf is and never speaks to, to the press, to say, to quite, take what was going on, and not certainly when the concern for the people who are critical about you've gotten the involvement in the, in congo now. and over the last few decades is that the result ration have been clouded in the past. and it's been accused of plundering mineral wealth, the congo man's actions still trying to see reparations for billions of dollars

worth of funded funded mineral wealth. during the $998.00 to 2003 conflict after which the international court of justice ruled uganda had plundered congo. reparation should be paid. so that happening at the very same time as the congress government has invited you gun during this time, offensively, to tissue the abs. what about the local community has been affected by, by the fighting with adf. how would they be viewing this operation? so the nature of the abs tax for, for about the last 7 years they've targeted communities which protected villages often around the city of benny, conducted brutal math. because more recently, in the last year or 2, they've been pushing vehicles on the road to making some of those key vote in and

out of the city of benny and going north towards to the province, making those very unsafe people in that part of the country a very tired of the violent people feel that the recent efforts of the congo leaves army in the last month, having succeeded, they declared estates of martial law in the eastern provinces. so definitely the dissent month among many people that if somebody can just put a stop to these, these terrible massacres in the lobby of tax on civilian target, then that would be a good thing. the same time a lot of skepticism from some people about whether you go to coming into the home they will, once again will bring stability or just yet more instability. malcolm. thank you very much for that, malcolm wildlife for i say, my roby. the international olympic committee has held a 2nd video call with chinese tennis play. a peng shy amid concern for her well being. they confirmed paying safety in

a statement released on thursday. the former double world number one accused a politician of sexual assault and wasn't seen in public for weeks. w here has suspended all of his tournament in china. as a result, bridging says it opposes what he calls palletization of sports. michael castro is a human rights advocate and a researcher as well as a civil society consult. and he says that the international olympic committee and the interpol turned into tools for china's propaganda. the fact that the women's tennis association has shown more credibility than we international olympic committee, or for that matter, more credibility than interpol. in resisting these types of, clearly scripted and coerced performances from china is really shocking. and it shows how far we really do need to go still. the fact that the i o c or interpol have been turned into tools for china's propaganda. whereas the w t o has resisted

it, is really a mark for the w t a. and really we should see more organizations behaving such as them resisting clear lives from the party being propagandizing efforts. we also need to see real coordinated action between governments. china is a powerful state actor of course. and what we need to confront them is to hold trying accountable through the coordination of multiple countries. what this abuse against and punctuate is, is also very much part of a long trend. the widespread and systematic use of arbitrary and secret detention to remove from public anyone seen as a counter points to the will of the party. it is part of a number of high profile disappearances over the years from the former interpol president long home way or actress on being being or earlier this year, jack mall. but also just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the 10s of thousands of

chinese citizens who have been and disappeared into similar situations of arbitrary and secret attention. the new only con, very interest fueling and increase in the daily number of current of iris cases in south africa. south africa was a 1st country to identify on the con, the number of reported cove. in 1900 cases, there has doubled in a day. scientists say the strain was in europe before flight bands were imposed on countries in southern africa. family demila has the latest from john spoke. they has been a resurgence in numbers in about the last 3 weeks. and while they is concerned around the daily rate of infections increasing just a day ago, there are about $4000.00 new infection. and now they're $8000.00 new in fix in the last 24 hours. while that is the case, the infections appear to be mild and also what experts pointing out is a comparison between the 3rd and 4th wave,

which south africa appears to be entering right now. during the 3rd way, there was an average of about 400 deaths a week. and wild africa is in the early stages of the 4th wave. experts are saying they are seeing an average of perhaps 25 dips a week and that potentially the number of people who are seriously ill become seriously ill. all could potentially die from cold that could potentially be harmed compared to the 3rd wave, primarily because of vaccines. so that ticket is in a unique position compared to many african countries. we just don't have as much access may not be able to afford those vaccines. there is a certain amount of vaccine hesitancy, and when this information trickles down to people, for example, the new variant with scientists are saying, well, we not quite sure we know it may be more transmissible. we're still investigating just how effective vaccines may be. this is the kind of information that adds to vaccine hesitancy and concerns from people around just what,

how effective the vaccines are and what if they were taking now fight to preserve an abandoned palestinian village of entering a potentially critical phase tenders to start work on a dig redevelopment plan are due to be issued in the coming weeks campaign is opposing the move say it would destroy a rare historical and commercial monument hurry for re for some lifted on the northern slopes of west jerusalem in every seasons. and they lived, there is very beautiful also my life english tele. so my childhood jacobo day was born on this jerusalem hill side. in 1948 years later, he was one of 3000 palestinians who fled or were forced from homes here in the fighting that preceded the creation of the state of israel. it was a scenario repeated across historic palestine known to palestinians as the napa or

perpetuating the conflict. and i am not for that. go by says green spaces, terraces and ruins would be preserved. but for a broad coalition of campaigners, the project would destroy the soul of the unique space. what's rare about this campaign is that it seems to be getting some real traction. palestinian voices have been joined by jewish heritage and environmental campaigners and that position as one the backing of jury summons municipal government. the construction tendering process slated for the summer has already been delayed several times. the latest deadline is the end of the year. the campaigns lawyer says it's down to effective work in the courts and in the public sphere, there is riley land authority since that the preservation of lift is preservation of stones preservation of architecture of buildings. while in our view, the reservation of lift is the preservation of the infant village that but a senior village of lift testimony for the history of the place. in 2012
